"See you on Sunday, Caroline!" Emilia smiled waving to her boss as she left the building.
Emilia closed the door with her hip as she pulled on her black zip hoodie with one hand, and held her bag with the other. Emilia had been teaching classes all day, distracting herself from what happened yesterday. Emilia looked behind her as she heard feet scraping against the ground, owning once she noticed cora sat on the bench outside the studio rocking her feet back and forth.
"Hey Cora what are you doing out here? Class finished a hour ago." Emilia asked walking over to the seven year old, cora looked up to her favourite teacher with a smile.
"Derek had practice and couldn't pick me up, my uncle was supposed to but he's not here yet." cora replied, "I think he's forgot."
"I can take you home if you want, do you know the way?" Emilia asked, taking her car keys out of her gym bag.
"It's fine I can walk home." Cora shook her head, playing with her tutu.
Cora knew she could get in trouble if Emilia took her home, her mother told her that she couldn't bring people home without telling her incase any supernatural business going on. But if she didn't go home with Emilia she could be sat on that bench all night, that is if her family is doing something werewolf related.
"Don't be silly, It's not safe for you to walk back at this time." Emilia insisted, unlocking her car opening the door for cora.
Cora smiled and walked forward, her pink skirt matching with the pink on Emilia's sports leggings,"So where am I taking you?"
"If you drive down to the preserve there will be a road leading to my house near the entrance." Cora told her, putting her seatbelt on after putting her dance bag on the back seat.
"You live in the woods? Cool." Emilia asked, the subject interesting her.
"It gets a little scary sometimes." Cora admitted, trying to explain her supernatural fears in a human way "But If I get scared Derek goes outside and checks if there's monsters."
"Are you and Derek close?"
"Derek always looks after me when everyone's busy." Cora smiled, "Are you friends with my brother?"
"I guess I am." Emilia shrugged stopping at a red light, laughing to herself as she saw Cora smirking slightly.
Emilia had a feeling that Cora wanted her and Derek to be more than friends, which is completely true.
"I think Derek has a crush on you." Cora stated, causing Emilia to look at her with wide eyes.
"Why would you think that?" Emilia asked, trying not to overreact.
"He was looking at you with googly eyes like daddy does when he sees mommy." Cora smiled, listing to Emilia's heartbeat rising.
"Are you sure? I don't think Derek likes me like that." Emilia denied.
"Plus I heard everyone talking about you the other day, Derek got embarrassed." Cora said simply, changing the subject "Will you be at my next class?"
"I think so." Emilia nodded, turning the wheel driving town the path cora pointed to.
"Good, because Derek's picking me up." Cora chorused, happy to see Derek and Emilia together.
